Could 1 ADC have the ability to bypass shields instead of true damage?

Hi Riot

I was just thinking, what if one of the ADC's had the ability to bypass shields like DianaDiana W on auto attacks or abilities.

Like Lucian Lucian for example(I main Luc and I'm bias, so what ). What if his ult was able to bypass Lux Lux shield?

It would help give him a unique identity over Vayne, Kalista, Graves and would be an alternative to true damage.

What you guys think?

It'd get kinda game breaking for shield based champions.

As someone who's favorite support champions have shields that are strong/activate when Low HP, I'd be infuriated by such a change.

My fav supports are: Tahm and Blitz, both which would be screwed over by this kind of ability to ignore shields. (You often see Tahm players activating shield when at like 100-200 HP, that's one dead Tahm if you can ignore the shield)

Yea, didn't think of that. But if it were on Lucian ult then it wouldn't be that bad as his ult has a long cooldown and is hard asf to land entirely

That'd still probably take 1-2 shots to kill a Tahm in anything but lategame, and even then he'd die really fast because he's too fat to juke it.

Sounds cool but probably a little OP.

That would make supports with shields really sad.

Would be a very good late game duelist ADC against ADCs who build BT and would wreck Ekko. However there are also games where nobody has shields, thus is a useless skill. Niche pick only.

Why....? Shields are supposed to block damage, it would feel awful to get a shield and still die.

I think they would have to have slightly lower burst to compensate for that kind of power? Like the shield ignoring ability (please don't tell me it's an auto passive) would just have to have lower damage in general.

Soraka would definitely be a hard counter though.

Varus Piercing arrow, piercing shields. It doesn't get any better than that.

sounds a little broken to be honest. shields are shields for a reason. i mean this would completely eliminate protect the carry comps where you pick lulu/janna and shield one person into oblivion. one champion inherently shouldnt be able to get rid of an entire comp by itself.
